The Ulster Senior Football Championship ignites this Sunday as Monaghan and Cavan renew their fierce rivalry in a quarter-final clash at Clones. All eyes will be on the team sheets, with Monaghan's Jack McCarron, a key offensive weapon, surprisingly named among the substitutes. His presence on a strong bench that includes Conor McCarthy and Killian Lavelle gives the Farney men serious firepower in reserve.

Monaghan will rely on their established stars, with goalkeeper Rory Beggan marshaling the defense, Dessie Ward anchoring the center-back line, and the influential Michael Bannigan directing play from center-forward. They'll need all their experience to counter a Cavan side riding a psychological edge, having won the last three championship meetings between these neighbors.

Cavan manager Dermot McCabe makes one tactical change, bringing Gerard Smith into wing-back. Smith is a proven derby-day hero, having scored a late goal to win the last Championship encounter between these sides. The Breffni men will look to their powerful midfield partnership of Gearoid McKiernan and Ryan Donohoe, and the scoring threat of full-forward Paddy Lynch, to continue their recent dominance in this passionate local showdown.
